Autonomous Finance is an organization focused on research, innovation, and development of AI-powered DeFi on AO. We build novel primitives, platforms, and tools powered by AI agents to provide autonomous, signal-driven financial services within AO's trusted execution environment.
Autonomous Finance is built on three foundational pillars.
Core Financial Infrastructure: DeFi primitives enhanced by AO's scalable design architecture, such as asset swap systems, money markets, and mechanisms for liquidity provision.
Agent Finance (AgentFi): Autonomous agents capable of processing real-time market intelligence and executing sophisticated financial strategies verifiably onchain.
Content Finance (ContentFi): Applications that leverage Arweave's content-storing capability to monetize data as composable assets.
Finance is becoming increasingly automated, with approximately 80% of all trades on the Nasdaq executed by non-human actors.
Until now, decentralized finance has been limited to the settlement layer of the economy, facilitating swaps, payments, and lending actions among market participants without the need for third-party intermediaries.
While trustless settlement is innovative, the global economy encompasses more than just settlement. Markets operate as an intelligence layer, composed of economic agents—bankers, investors, traders, and fund managers—who allocate resources, transact, and control the global flow of value.
With the rise of AI, we foresee a paradigm shift in the economic landscape, where the next iteration of the intelligence layer is expressed through the creation and governance of highly adept AI agents, executing sophisticated financial strategies verifiably onchain.
Our mission is to transform DeFi beyond a trustless financial settlement layer by introducing data-powered, autonomous financial services onchain. This includes leveraging AO as a modular and composable AI Agent base layer to:
Build core open-source DeFi primitives and AI-powered infrastructure.
Provide a platform to build, test, train, monetize, and subscribe to autonomous agents.
Democratize access to sophisticated AgentFi strategies and services.
Empower builders with development tools to build the next generation of apps.
